Board game: six of the 17 classes are available at the start and eleven are locked. Start with the six public names below. Locked-class links use the official spoiler codes.
Roster
Choose Drifter for a flexible persistent-track engine, or Banner Spear if coordinated positioning appeals. Both are Low complexity, but their party demands differ. Boneshaper and Deathwalker ask you to manage summons or shadows; Blinkblade and Geminate add more timing and hand constraints.
| Class | Status | Official complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Banner Spear | Starter | Low |
| Drifter | Starter | Low |
| Boneshaper | Starter | Medium |
| Deathwalker | Starter | Medium |
| Blinkblade | Starter | High |
| Geminate | Starter | High |
Eleven locked-class guides
Opening a guide reveals the class name in its heading and URL. The mechanics inside each guide are folded. Do not open a class box until your campaign instructs you.
Choose for your party
Our party-fit tier list separates two-character, four-character and solo-control demands. For all classes, check items, solo scenarios and the beginner setup before starting.
Personal quests primarily drive retirement and building progress; they are not a universal class-unlock formula. Read the unlock guide before assuming a missed branch permanently blocks a class.
